Firebird 2 cheat sheet
Since I couldn't find a Firebird SQL cheat sheet, I wrote one, listing useful information about the upcoming Firebird 2 
such as its data types, its internal and UDF functions, and the php ibase functions.
Update 08-11-2006: thanks to Carlos H. Cantu and Ivan Prenosil for their suggestions. I have updated the cheat sheet accordingly.

Firebird SQL Cheat Sheet - Details
The cheat sheet is organized in 5 sections. The first section contains a list of the available data types, their description and the range of values that each of them supports.
The second section contains a list of the Internal functions. The ones listed here are the Firebird 2 built-in functions; they're grouped by field of interest (aggregate, conditional, string functions).
The third section contains a list of the Default UDF functions.
Firebird bundles an UDF library with some useful functions not included in the core. These functions are listed here, grouped by field of interest (mathematical and string functions).
The forth section contains some useful queries, like the most useful queries to manage TRANSACTIONs, SAVEPOINTs, SEQUENCEs, a sample query with a "LIMIT / OFFSET" clause, and some queries against the System Tables to retrieve a list of the tables, fields, indices and constraints.
The last section holds a list of the PHP ibase_* functions .
PHP has a Firebird/Interbase module and this is used by PHP developers to connect to, and query, a Firebird database. This section lists the functions available in PHP for connecting to and managing a Firebird database.
Please note: If you wish to link to the Firebird SQL cheat sheet from elsewhere, rather than linking directly to the sheet please link to this page so others can find the description. Thank you.
